Tim’s story

Tim initially called in July 2009 and didn’t schedule an appointment until February of 2010. Most of his career, 15 years, was with Empire Bank in Baltimore, he became a victim of downsizing and restructuring during the global financial crisis. His bank was one of the big ones and they needed to make radical changes to survive.

He returned to his roots in the Midwest with his family. He took off time to review and regroup. By his first appointment, he had already been unemployed for 12 months.

After finalizing the resume, we also introduced him to LinkedIn and got him started thinking about networking. In July 2010, he was hired by a new financial institution and by the time I contacted him for an update, he was already promoted to Assistant Vice President.
